What astonishes me is while other bands that have been around for over 30 years are stuck doing the “greatest hits” circuit, this Blonde Redhead material is some of their best. It’s like they’re still evolving as artists!
I can't imagine anything topping Elephant Woman and 23 and Oslo but this performance was nothing less than transcendent.
agree. they keep aging like fine wine 😍
Totally, their creativity is at their peak.
yeah.. I remember listening to them when I twas young. They were ok for me. This is spot on though. Rare in the music industry to still make something this inspired this far in.
Crazy to think they started out as a noise post punk band. They’ve evolved so much.
One of the most alluring, strange, and fascinating bands EVER.
The most important band in history . Blonde Redhead is my Roman empire . Kazu is literal angel on earth. Never disappoint with their music and humanity. I will remember them forever
In the co-existing universe of anxiety and peace of mind, Blonde Redhead have been letting us breathe for many wonderful decades.
Random info about me nobody asked for:
- This is the fastest I've ever clicked on a KEXP video
- Saw them play in Toronto a few months ago and was so mesmerized I didn't take any pictures/videos
- I'm currently wearing the Blonde Redhead tshirt I bought from that show
Now you know!
I'll add my random info no one asked for 😂 I work at an animal shelter and recently named 3 cats Kazu, Simone & Amedeo after the band. Kazu has already been adopted, and we're hoping Simone + Amedeo will go together next week! 😸
I think I am your Montreal doppleganger...
@@treblah3 I love those names for kittens! Here's hoping the "twins" go to a loving home next week!
@@jamesparker4215 Haha that's awesome - we'd just better not shake hands, or we might cancel each other out!
@@namelessghostmusic Haaaaa

Saw them tonight in Sydney. easily the best show I've ever been to in decades. Mind blown.
Dummer is an absolute BEAST by every technical and feel metric.
Simone Pace is subtly one of the best drummers of all time.
This was the first thing that i noticed about this aswell. The man got groove.
He’s one of my favorite drummer over many elites.. he’s underrated but that’s okay too.
Can't agree more. He is the reason I started playing drums when I was 15
Facts...and he has great taste too.
Paul Banks from interpol named this band one of the top 5 from New York and I'm glad he did because now here I am discovering new music!! wow this band is amazing.
23 and Misery is a Butterfly are absolute masterpieces
Actually saw them opening for Interpol in Lisbon back in 2007. Became a fan because of that gig, never having even heard of them before let alone their wonderful music.
@@HRilho blonde redhead + interpol are a dreamy combo!
I remember discovering them 20 years ago and thinking they were going to be big since they were indie but somehow they kept producing great albums while remaining small. That's the hard truth for musicians. I love every single album they've put out, so melancholic, eerie and beautiful.
Thank you blonde redhead for this live, thank you for making me dream since I was a teenager. You'll always be my favorite band. And bravo for the support of 🍉🇵🇸
"Sit Down for Dinner" was such an unexpected, lovely surprise. Really fantastic album, right up there with "Misery is a Butterfly" which is one of favorites of all time. Thank you! 🙏
"Discover great new music at KEXP".. Oh boy I just did. Cracking band, great sounds. Thankyou..
One of my favorite bands for years. Her voice is inspirational.
Listening for years, but just saw them live the first time last week... You could hear a pin drop outside, everyone was so quiet literally astounded at how beautiful everything was.... Amazing new album and they were amazing live wow...
Blonde Redhead released my favorite album of last yr. No big deal just another masterpiece under their belt. 🙏
Tons of grace, sensibility, groove... everytime better
Kiss Her Kiss Her is absolutely sublime here.
Big upps for Cheryl Waters! We're all looking forward for new Blonde Redhead material!
True talent and passion endures. So happy they're still making music together.
This band hits a special spot. Perfect for rainy days.
i'm crying, how did i miss this upload? one of my favourite bands ever, thank you KEXP
Love Kazu voice, but every song that Amadeo sings are pearls. Something like Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo songs.
holy smokes they are amazing
Seeing Blonde Redhead in Atlanta in a few weeks. Can't believe it has been of 16 years since I last saw them. The new album is incredible.
No one can imagine how short our lives are. Music can help with the grief, expanding each moment into an opportunity for a greater appreciation of the beautiful tragic dance we dance
FINALLY saw them for the first time (loved them since 2000 or so) last year and they were incredible. Had tears in my eyes the whole time. Enjoy!
I should be there too!
KEXP is an ever-expanding universe-sized musical artist resource. Always a joy to press play and to explore the soundscapes of the artists that are featured on KEXP. 🥰🎶
So peaceful and timeless music. Still remember when I saw them live, back in the days, in Italy and they are still in business.
In tears, welcome back Blonde Redhead ❤
I love how this songs sound live, this is a beautiful performance... I'm hopeful that they return in the near future to Guadalajara, Mexico, so I can listen to them again live... they always play with such an unique atmosphere that sends shivers trough the skin, they always deliver.
one of my favorite living bands. beautiful live performance
this guys push me to be a better human being
That’s a very powerful statement but I get that too
with a kefiye on the mic!!!
Lol wtf, I only knew this band by name and INSTANTLY got mesmerized. These sounds are absolute jewels.
Masters of their craft.
I snuck into see them when I was 16 in 2004. Good memory
perfect on their own and together. insane band.
Increíblemente hermoso, enormemente emocional, Blonde Redhead siempre en el corazón, gracias por tanto talento.
Saw them live last November and was almost brought to tears. Such an amazing band!
a gift from the gods
Although their album came way after the lockdown, it came like a warm hug for me, even after 3 years have past. I lost loved ones and lost relationships too in that era, which was hard to go through, but also learned how to grow myself, in my lockdown, in creativity, like you guys did and are teaching. Thank you Kazu, Simone and Amedeo; you're the greatest and i'm sure your music and 30 year career is nothing more but a work of passion and love itself. I'll make sure my children hear your work and hopefully, they'll know what love for art means.
Hace años los vi en guadalajara y fue increíble.. Y es increíble volverlos a escuchar con un nuevo disco esperemos vengan a México de nuevo y seguramente en mas lugares del mundo los extrañan
Acá esperandolos en CDMX, tengo fé de que este año se hace, y ojalá que sea en concierto solo, sin tener que ir a verlos a un festival solo un rato u U
I am a huge fan of the band and love their latest album. To see them play it impeccably is such a treat. Thank you. Long live this band who keep releasing inimitable gems.
Great performance and also great sound recording ! Thank you Blonde Redhead, Thank you KEXP
Im in love with this band; absolute love for their sound, so fresh, so personal.
Been waiting for this session. Awesome band!🍓
Their new stuff is SO GOOD!!
Beautiful and pure
Exactly.
Wow. Pure artistry.
Amazing ❤
Definetly one of my absolute favourite bands! Such an amazing performance!
Thank you, KEXP!❤🍓
Such a great and underrated band
Cuando en la actualidad hay bandas que hacen música al carbón, ellos dejaron madurar este hermoso disco. Nos muestran que la perseverancia y el arte musical van de la mano. No llevan prisa y tampoco buscan fama. Son artistas natos que desde la primera escucha se nota que lo hacen por amor a la música. Saludos desde México y fuerte abrazo 🫂. Gracias a toda la PRODUCCIÓN.
still on loop with this live;
also, thanks to Cheryl Waters, she always asks from really accurate and passionate places, such an incredible communicator
The new album is so great but hearing this live is even better. The sound guys at that festival should've learned something from the people who do the sound here. It's incredible.
I’ve been a fan of theirs since the 90’s. Would listen to the new releases as they came out but didn’t realize they had gathered more of a following. Their earlier material was quite different and I liked it for different reasons but they grew as I grew older.
i remember seeing them in the 90’s in Belgium around the time of “fake can be just as good”. amazing performance. and afterwards they would sell cd’s on stage and sign them when you asked. can’t believe it’s almost 30 years ago!
A great band! So underrated!
Man I just wish this was longer
New ALBUM!?!? how did I miss this!! I love them they are all so beautiful!!!
Blonde Redhead will forever have a special spot in my heart reserved. I was 16 years old on family vacation in Mexico, staying in a coastal touristic town, when we ventured to a shopping centre nearby the hotel. There I did as I always did at record shops snd asked who I deemed to be the coolest clerk for his favourites/recommendations... My, what a jackpot I'd hit, as he turned me onto Ratatat, Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and Blonde Redhead (among others I'm forgetting, no doubt). I was already a few years into my musical consciousness by then, but I felt like I'd committed highway robbery, getting introduced to so many great groups on that trip alone and coming back to Canada with them. My musical tastes were pretty eclectic at a fairly early age, but I knew the sounds I liked. With Blonde Redhead, my first two records, purchased on that trip to Mexico, were Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons and 23, and those sounds were just so in-tune with my psyche/vibrations, like nothing I'd heard before. Man, I so miss that discovery era of my life, as well as the prevalence of record stores- I discovered 80-90%+ of my favourites like that, just asking cool clerks for suggestions. I won't even hate on Spotify, as I've discovered so much great music on there, but it removes that more tangible aspect there used to be, and that excitement of getting to your parents car and blasting the CD on the drive home.
I used to hear this artist's album. Now i enjoy it in a long time
They’ve been my favorite band ever since I first heard them in 1999. I’m in constant awe over their work. Timeless in a way that many will never truly understand. Blonde redhead forever.
Blonde Redhead es una banda que me encanta y sigo desde que sacaron su álbum 23, fue un regalo a "ciegas" de un tío mío, llegó a la tienda de discos en aquel entonces y le pidió una recomendación para regalar a un adolescente a un empleado, ese disco era recién salido y me lo compró (doy gracias a aquel empleado que le recomendó está grandiosa banda a mi tío)
Esperé muchos años para poder verlos en vivo, hasta que se me hizo verlos en el CCGDL23, fue un show lleno de problemas técnicos, pero para mí fue algo conmovedor verlos. Está sesión es todo un agasajo de ver y escuchar... Gracias por estos años de tanta música! ❤️ Saludos desde Zacatecas México!!
One of those bands I've shamefully never really given much attention to. After listening to this I'm gonna dive in deep. Beautiful stuff.
What a surprise! I have been loving Sit Down for Dinner. The drums sound amazing in Part 2.
Simone is such an amazing drummer - easily one of my favourites!
@@namelessghostmusic I'm with you on that!
Absolutely agree. The man got groove.
Unique vibe, unique harmonies. Been a fan since „Misery Is A Butterfly“.
Thank you for having them. This band opened my mind to music when I was in middle school (I'm now 35).
Misery is A Butterfly was pretty much all I played in my late twenties. I can remember finding it at the library and checking it out due to the cover I'm sure, and the name, same time I found the album Love is Hell .. oh the memories- it was nice to actually see the people behind the music and listen to their story. The singer seems like a sweetheart. 🦋🦋
This was, as aptly mentioned, "magnificent." A feast for the ears, mind and soul.
this is absolutely incredible. I slept on this band, but here comes KEXP giving me something new to love again and again.
I just can't stop listening.. so beautiful session.. what a come back!! ❤❤❤❤
Thrilled to see this published - I saw them live in October and it was an incredible show. The drumming really surprised me, I felt like I was listening to a jazz drummer. Now I can see it up close! On first listen these renditions of Snowman + Melody Experiment are incredible, including the mixing. Still trying to figure out where all the layers of sound come from with just three of them!
They are playing to tracks.
same! been wondering how they play the layers. they also seem to use this resource on other live performances, layers might be programmed :•)
Such a wonderful drummer, committed to every note he plays and never overstates anything.
@@jones1749 is looper
Beautiful, love this guys forever!
Clapping after every single tune…
Thanks KEXP!
Wow what a great surprise! Absolutely superb, one of the most underrated bands in the world.
12:57 - Melody Experiment
cant get enough of Kiss Her Kiss Her
Gotta love that scarf on the mic!
What a lovely surprise! Thanx for this pure gold music! Your art is on some unreachable level
The first tune, both parts, is insanely beautiful. I see myself on the coast in Wales.... : )
Instant Fan
I love you Blonde Redhead!!!
Tuve la oportunidad de verlos en Rock al Parque en Bogotá. Maravillosos
Yo también, los amo desde ese día
didn’t know these guys have a new album. sucks I missed them when they came to seattle. they’ve written some of the best shoegaze/indie ever
Thank u for this, my fav band 🍓
OMG. I put them on one of my first ever films in film school. I love them so much.
На перший погляд проста та легка музика, але ж яка насичена ідеєю. Гарне поєднання двох вокалів. Отримав задоволення, дякую😊
This is wonderful to hear and watch. Im delighted by the fact they have a spectacular interviewer - asking significant questions. Their music is great and I will continue to watch and listen.
Fantastica band...spero di vedervi in Italia
Such well seasoned performers/music makers. It's rare for me to fall in love with songs live vs the record but it happened here. Thank you for the feelings BR! And kudos to the KEXP team for an incredibly engineered/mixed session. This performance is a treasure in headphones.
One of my favorite bands. The Best Blonde Redhead
Gosh and geez and wowwy zowy... Blonde Red Head hits a special spot for me. Saw them for the first time in San Diego don't even remember where? Was some off trail abandoned campus. One of my favorite shows of all time...
They're so good... Bravo !
It sounds great, going a little back to their unique sound. Awesome, love them all!
Love this band, beautiful music and life. Keep pushing.
Oh man. What a gift
I’m so glad they’re still making music!
Oh they are still alive ❤
While the bands amaze me, the recordings are phenomenal. Thank you KEXP and with engineers like Kevin Suggs et al
One of my favorite all time bands. This last record is so well made, has a mix of styles that keep it fresh and sounds very original
Oh my oh my ❤ what a fantastic session. Hope to see you around on tour this year! ❤
Thank You, KEXP for capturing a truly unique band like Blonde Redhead in their current moment. They are definitely one of the greatest live bands to ever grace the stage but that always doesn't necessarily come through in the CZcams Era. Great studio mixing. Great live performance. ❤
KISS HER Made Love, and Peace✌
